Where it all began in the colonies, rum is again becoming the spirit of choice. Have you seen anything on the shelves that shouldn't be missed by others.

Just back from several stock up trips to Kappy's in Peabody yesterday - they often take inventory first week of January and are keen to get rid of odds and ends and other rums that will not be back for next year - therefore prices are lower.

Maybe be worth a trip this week for anyone local. Of note: Bermudez rums on clearence, MGXO at $30, MGblack 100pf ~$21, several others on special, and... a bottle of Ron Millionaro (peru) -an exceptional, and pretty hard to find rum, was a special order that got forgotten and is now on the shelf /clearence list.

I stocked up on the last of their JM Rhums on the clearence shelf and several others for the nw year! Enjoy! -kk

Actually I opened the Millonario 15 for Christmas. A good rum, very sweet, reminds me of Z23. I opened at the same time Plantation Guyana, which surprised me with a scotch-like taste, I was expecting a taste close to ED, and Renegade Panama 1997, a fantastic rum.

Finished open bottles of Plantation 20th and Diplomatico Exclusiva Reserva. The 20th is surprising, the only rum from Plantation that I've tasted with a vanilla taste, still very good. The Diplomatico is incredible, a flawless rum to me.
